This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review
of this request by Red Hat Engineering. This request is not yet committed for
inclusion in release.

dfong/mclasen: I believe older releases, e.g. RHEL4, uses a more cartoony hat as
shown here (picture randomly found on the Internet but ya'll probably remember)
http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/flinux/prodreview/rhel4/g03.jpg
Are you sure we want to use the more flat Shadowman icon for RHEL5?

mclasen: so, why not simply fix the panel to use the an icon from redhat-logos
instead of, uhm, replacing the start-here icon with a Shadowman? Cuz, really,
I'm not how much sense it makes to make the icon named "start-here" a Shadowman,
in a way you're breaking at least some sort of ABI etc. etc.
FYI redhat-logos contains
/usr/share/firstboot/pixmaps/shadowman-round-48.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-200.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-32.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-48.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-64.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-mini.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-round-48.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat/shadowman-transparent.png
which looks similar to the icons that Diana did though the red is somewhat more
vivid in her icons.

OK, reassigning this to redhat-logos and fixing up Summary to reflect that
shadowman icons in redhat-logos needs an update. New shadowman icons are
available in comment 2.
mclasen: Please open a new bug for the panel fix.

dfong: in addition we also need
shadowman-16.png
shadowman-20.png
shadowman-22.png
shadowman-36.png
shadowman-96.png
as redhat-artwork will symlink into these to provided themed icons for the gnome
panel menu.
Thanks. David.

Actually as dfong pointed out this morning the existing shadowman
(shadownman-<size>.[png|xpm]]) are not transparent so they are not usable. So
the plan of attack is
1. Fixup existing icons in redhat-logos
2. Provide new icons shadowman-transparent-<size>.png where size=16, 20, 22,
32, 36, 48, 64, 96
then we get redhat-artwork to symlink into the shadowman-transparent-<size.png
icons.

Oh, now I see the package versions. Thanks.
But the PNGs mentioned in comment 10 are not present in either redhat-logos or
redhat-artwork. Is this a problem?
Either way, the shadowman I'm seeing on the panel is round with a white face,
and a transparent border. Sound right?

A package has been built which should help the problem described in
this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution
of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does
not work for you.
